Sat, 21 Jun 2014 21:34:27 +0000http://collegefootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=328695#comment-176075Saban and Bama choose their matchups based on what’s best for the university from a financial and recruiting standpoint. And they’re in an advantageous position when it comes to negotiating venues. If Cincy can put together a good deal for the Tide, Saban won’t hesitate to venture north. And as dcroz says, I wouldn’t underestimate Tubby’s ability to make a game of it.

Even after expansion, they’ll only have 40,000 seats. From a game atmosphere standpoint, I can see why UC would like to play at Nippert, but I’d think the money potential would be better at Paul Brown.

Sat, 21 Jun 2014 12:20:23 +0000http://collegefootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=328695#comment-176046The Alabama Goliath has went on the road to play David before, usually when the game was played at an NFL venue. During the ’80s and early ’90s, ‘Bama played at Cincinnati, at Rutgers, and at Temple with each of those games being at the home stadia of the Bengals, Eagles, and Giants, respectively. Don’t forget that the Tide also played at Duke in 2010, though it tried to have the game moved to Charlotte or Atlanta, and ‘Bama did go to Lafayette to play the Rajun Cajuns in their 25,000-seat stadium in 1989.

But the most interesting thing about this regardless of the venue is the Bearcats’ coach: Tommy Tuberville. Tubs was the one who led Auburn during its six-game winning streak over the Tide from 2002-07, and loved letting ‘Bama Nation knowing about it. It finally ended (both the streak and his time on the Plains) in a 36-0 woodshedding in Tuscaloosa in 2008, so don’t think he wouldn’t like a shot at revenge. Also, Tuberville has been known for beating teams no one gave him a chance against, so this could be a bigger game than people think. Personally, I would like to see this matchup happen.

Fri, 20 Jun 2014 23:30:35 +0000http://collegefootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=328695#comment-176023It’s never going to happen. Bama was supposed to play Michigan State that weekend(had a home and home set up) until Alabama felt it was better for MSU to play at a neutral site and at Tuscaloosa. So if anyone thinks Bama is stepping into Nippert or Paul Brown Stadium needs to go see a Doctor.
